Just Another Summer Enemy
(2026)(The fourth book in the Coconut Beach series)
A novel by Ariel Hendrix
He’s my heartless stepbrother who despises me. I’m the idiot who accidentally sent him some not-so-innocent photos …
Dayton Copeland is the antithesis of fun, sunshine, and sugar, which is everything I stand for. When tragedy strikes, we break our ten-year streak of no contact when we become co-owners of a dilapidated beachfront bungalow. We have one year to agree on what to do with it.Of course he wants to sell. He spends his nights counting his money.
Between heated arguments about the budget and him crashing in my bedroom to help ‘oversee’ the project, I’m starting to wonder if I was wrong about Dayton’s true feelings for me all along.
When the salacious photos hit his inbox, he responds in a way my ex-husband could never.
The Florida sun is blazing hot, but the tension between us just got ten times hotter.
Right when I think everything might work out, a tropical storm hits, wrecking our progress on the house. Then Dayton’s ex makes a surprise appearance, leaving me to wonder if his intentions with me are pure or if he was always…
just another summer enemy.
Just Another Summer Enemy is a complete standalone small-town summer romcom with broody/secretly obsessed step brother and a taboo forbidden love story.
REVIEWS:
The step sibling/forced proximity trope? Absolutely top tier.
Ariel delivers everything: the slowwww burn tension, unrelenting banter, comedic energy, and those laid back coastal vibes that make you wish you were living inside the pages.

Dayton Copeland was literally eating out of the palm of Summers hand and she didn't even know it.
This book was a true enemies to lovers.
The angst and the yearning was SO GOOD.
Having them be stuck together working on the house they inherited was such a fun storyline and led to a lot of great banter between Dayton and Summer.
